Did you compile samba 3.02a yourself or use the RPM packages? I ran into a problem with the RPM packages on the Samba site for MDK 9.2, When I installed it seemed that the packages were not valid, they were looking for some strange name user. Some of the commands to run were not on my system either. So I uninstalled them and went back to 2.28a which works great!!

We got a 2.4 ghz Intel xeon in there, 1 gb ram and 2 scsi hds in softraid 1 on an adaptec Adaptec ASC-29320 U320. The array is set up with standard ext3 system. We are running samba on it with our business softwares data on it. Its a program which uses lots of small and some bigger text files to store info in. When we work on the server with 4 persons we got about 1200 files locked abd being read. it isnt that much of data(per client about 50 mb transferred) but the speed is veery slow. I get about 10 mb/s from the raid in all which is nothing. I also got the samba process eating all 100 % of my cpu. I tried to move the files outside the raid but that didnt have any effect on the performance. Does anyone have an idea how i can speed up the performance? Is it possible that the locking slows down the performance so much? It was a windows fileserver before running win2k which was much faster on the same files. My other coworkers are almost lynching me cause i was the one who wanted linux cause of performance and security issues. Im happy about any suggestions.
